David Balfour by Robert Louis Stevenson
An 18th-century coming-of-age adventure following a young Lowland Scotsman who, cheated out of his inheritance by a treacherous kinsman, is set adrift and swept into a series of dangerous escapades. Marooned among Jacobite Highlanders, he forms a wary friendship with a charismatic fugitive, survives shipwreck and pursuit, and becomes entangled in the era’s bitter politics and legal intrigues. Returning to the courts and respectable society, he must struggle to recover his rights, defend his companion, and navigate a testing romance, learning hard lessons about loyalty, honor, and identity along the way.
